Reading week

Finally today is the last day of my holiday; I feel that time pass so fast. I had a week of holiday to rest, but I feel like I only have a day off, but anyways, I should not complain anything, because I had a break at least. Even though I had a week of break, but I still have lots of homework that needs to be done before I go back to school, sometime I do not mind doing some homework during the holiday, but I find it is very annoying to do homework that I don’t know how to do but I still need to do it. But over the holiday I still did some homework that I know how to do, although it took me few days to do research and think about the homework, but at last I still got it done before the holiday. During the break, I wanted to plan myself to go and have some fun and relax myself a little bit, but because the weather is not really steady, so I decided to relax in my home. But I think it has been a good break for me, because I feel very relax, maybe I was too stress about the midterm so that’s why I suddenly feel relax. But now the holiday is almost over, I think I need to get myself back to some serious hard work again. Now the midterm is over, we only got half semester to go till the summer break, just half more semester, need to study hard, and hope everyone had a great time during their holiday.

Dream

I think I have dream every night. Sometimes, I dream about the future but sometimes, I have nightmare. After Tuesday’s presentation, I know more about dream. Dream can predict future or how often people have dream. There is also some ways for you to recall your dream.
Go back to my main topic, I will talk about my dream which about the mid-term exam last night. Let’s talk about the background first, in EAP3; it is much more difficult than before. Although someone will say ‘Of course, because it is a higher level,’ I think the standard has a huge different. This is also not the main point for my dream, the main point is: I am so nervous about my writing exam. This maybe the fact that I have that dream.
In my dream, I remember I just had the paper and ready to write about it. But the most important thing is I cannot read the question. I don’t know what kind of language is used to write that exam paper. Then I looked around, those people who sat with my and the teacher are totally different. I DON’T KNOW WHO THEY ARE! Then I put up my hand and ask the teacher question about the topic. But when the teacher started to speak, I could not understand the language. At that time, I felt like I dead, no hope. And then the image suddenly changed, it was the day I received my result! I got a ‘0’ on that exam but I can read the sentences now. At this time, I woke up. It is really a horrible dream.

Explorers


Yep, this is me. Right now, I am so tired that I cannot think about anything, especially 'explorers'. I am still working on my research project and suddenly remember today is Sunday, the last day to type this week's blog. In the Human History, there are so many explorers, they found new lands, discovered new equipments, found the shape of the Earth. Of course they did a wonderful job, but for me I think everyone is an explorer. Why? It is because we always discover who we are. We look for our characteristics. Sometimes we also want to know what we want. In this exploration, we never give up because no one would like to know nothing about themselves. This is what I think as a 'small' explorer.

Of course, nowadays, they are still many 'big' explorers, they are trying to reach the summit of Himalayas or want to reach deeper in the sea and discover what kind of sea animals can live there or even want to know more about human brain. But with limited equipments, they still cannot reach their goal, but human never give up. They keep trying, years by years, there will always a group of people want to be explorers. Why do they want to be an explorer? I don't know because for me, I never think about reaching the summit of Himalayas or so on. Is it their job or hobbit? I cannot answer this question. Anyway, I still think that ethey really do a great job in Human History.

Writing experience

About my writing experience....
It is very difficult for me to say. I remember that I write the first paragraph when I was grade 1. Maybe many people will not believe but it is true. Every grade 1 student in Hong Kong that time needed to start writing paragraph. And we keep practise this skill for three years. I write my first essay when I was grade 5. Although it was very simple, all are simple sentences and easy vocabulary, it is still my first essay.
Then when I am in higher level, I keep writing essay. When I was grade 10, I needed to write 400 words essay. At that time, I never wrote an outline and free-writing, I just write directly.
Then when I start studying in EAP, I learned how to plan to write an essay. It was so difficult for me at that time because I never try outline before! Slowly, I follow the structure that was given by the instructor. I finally knew how to create an easy essay.
So my experience in writing is to write directly and make it as a free-writing, then organise a little bit. Then that is an essay. Also in the essay, never use some skills that you are not comfortable because they will make your eassy get worse. Using connective words to connect two paragraphs. It is very important because reader can easily follow what you are talking about.
This is my writing experience and I know it is kind of boring = .=.....
